TWO STATIONS
FOR ITS POLICE"
Chief Turner Declares En
largement of Force a
Neeessitv.
"It ta nimply Irnp'WdlMo to prevent
Climes such as that of this morning
until a reformation Is made in Fulton
county," stated C’hlet Turner, of the
county police, Wednesday morning
he was discussing the ussault by
negro on a woman at Hattie Hill earlier
in the day. "Until the people of this
county vote to have two headquarters,
one In the south i^nd the other In the
north of the county. It wl)l % be Impossi
ble for the county police to do the
work which the public expects of them.
“Two headquarters, with men on duty
night and day. would give the county
such protection that crimes like that
of this morning would be almost un
heard of, because the police would he
on the spot at once. And the expense
would be no greater than at present,
because with the added protection to
their wives and daughters the farmers
would be perfectly w tiling to pay a lit
tle more taxes.
“Another necessary Improvement
which should he made for the protec
tion of the county farmery Is the pur
chase of a pair of blood hounds. I do
not believe that those available In this
county are worth their salt, when It
comes right down to tracking negroes.
If a cat Is run across the dogs are not
satisfied until they have chased her up
• tree, and It Is the same with rabbits
or other animats. The county does not
pay out h rent for these dogs, and,
of course, can not expect much from
them. What the county commlsslon-
# era should do Is to pay $500 or so for
* a pair of blooded dogs and keep them
trained to hunt criminals. Until this
Is done we are under a serious handi
cap, and It Is really surprising that we
do os well as we have In the past."
